Lost Planet 2 Takes a Shot at Used Game Sales
Lost Planet 2 was released recently as a sequel to the ambitious third-person shooter Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, and already there has been bugs discovered within the shooter pertaining to some of the game’s trophies. Now, Capcom’s included a trophy/achievement in Lost Planet 2 that rewards the player for not selling or trading the the game for six months.
Seen over at Andriasang, players are awarded the “Running Through 6″ trophy after 6 months from which you’ve played the game. Some individuals have found a way of bypassing the six months in less than 5 minutes,
- Before starting the game, remove the LAN cable and set the clock seven months back.
- Create save data file.
- Return to the dash board, connect your LAN cable, and connect to Live.
- Start up the game and load up the save file.
This looks to be Capcom’s method of luring the gamer to play their game a little bit longer, and also looks to be a positive step forward in the battle against losing sales to the used game market.

lol silly trophy but… i just set the clock 6mnths ahead then loaded game, trophy blinged, turned off reset date and alls good (lil easier)… Love the co-op but will not be playing it in 6mnths time LOL
How about create a game thats worth playing for over 6 months. Companies need to stop this greedy-ness thats been gaining popularity. They need to realize that not everyone who plays games has the money to go buy a new game every week of every month, and that their games arent always wanted the most. With all the talk about making the online parts have to pay an additional $10, thats a joke if they really expect people to start paying 73 some dollars for games. Then you have bobby K who wants their games to be more expensive, they need to learn that bill gates and steve jobs arent the types of people buying their games, its broke ass college students and younger kids with no jobs who pester their parents to spend money they might not have for the month on video games.
Why is this news? THE TROPHY LIST WAS POSTED ATLEAST A MONTH PRIOR TO RELEASE!
As far as that trophy, Turncoat is the one that really prevents sales since it takes 3 weeks to get that one
also as far as all the titles, there are 10 of them for Faction matchs
1 for winning 1 and 1 for winning 3
this isnt for getting 3 wins, its for your FACTION winning… this means this takes a minimal of 5 weeks (you cant change your faction till the end of the match set) so it could take ENDLESS time to get them all
but to eaach their own i guess we will talk about trivial shit over something that actually prevents sales on some level =\
how are they being greedy? imo gamers are the greedy ones who think they are enititled to free stuff , and allways want things cheaper. gaming is not a cheap hobby and will never be a cheap one, if you can’t afford to buy new games than don’t .
@ The Queef Sisters
agreed 100%. I”m telling you its all the beginning. Releasing a game and then within that same month or the next coming out with DLC…that sh!ts got to stop. Makes no sense to have some one pay for something that you could have included in the beginning. Paying for items like the stimulus pack….seriously, no ones pimpin like that. Its a lot of money for the content provided.
People you have two choices, you are either the sheep following the herd so that you don’t get cast out for being different, or your the sheep that strikes out, almost gets eaten but lives through adversity and evolves. Oh and the evolved sheep know how to make cookies, and pies, and an occasional spot of tea on Sunday’s.
Connect to Live??? What!! lol
I tried connecting to Live and accidentally logged in to the Playstation Network. DUH! What am I doing wrong???
Dummy: “Hey D, did you get that Platinum yet?”
D: “Yeah, but took me 6 months”
Well, that’s got to be one of the dumbest trophies ever. If you keep the game for 6 months, you deserve a prize LOL.
lol that’s funny.
Yeah I did the same with Flower back in the day. The old calendar trick never fails…
